Like Hash, I was one of the few students to vote in the student union elections. Totally bogus elections, that disqualified candidates after they won, but anyways..
Oh, they did that too? Priceless. They disqualified some guy last here, and he proceeded to throw some hissy fit. I just voted for girls who I found hot, because student elections are a joke and the SFUO is a huge joke. I won't vote for anybody this year, because the SFUO is a useless fraud which didn't even think it convenient to tell me I hadn't been hired for a job, so I'll write-in Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.
For the main races, I did a bit of research. In my final year, I just went on facebook to see which candidates supported the NDP. Interestingly, people from both student parties were NDP supporters.
For student senate races, I just voted for the girls. I didn't know what they looked like, so I couldnt vote for the hot ones, but I voted for the ones with hot names.
